For its Pre-Fall 2018 collection of casual streetwear, American label Coach draws inspiration from classic fairy tales with a Disney-inspired fashion line-up. The range includes baggy hoodies, sleek jackets, casual tees, scarves, bags and more that boast a playful and patched design with strong references to two classic Disney films -- 'Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs' and 'Sleeping Beauty.'
From purse designs that carry the names of the dwarfs with customized fonts to roomy patterned totes that have an illustration of the castle from the Sleeping Beauty, the Pre-Fall 2018 Disney-inspired fashion collection definitely brings out the eerily gloomy motifs of the happily-ever-after fairy tales. Coach seamlessly integrates this graphic-heavy and nostalgia-inducing thematic in the silhouettes of its contemporary streetwear.
